As if things weren’t difficult enough for Katniss and the survivors of The Hunger Games, now they have an all-out war to fight.

The latest teaser for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 arrived online this week (via Doritos) and the brief trailer for the highly anticipated sequel does a nice job of introducing all of the major players in the next chapter of the saga — including a bruised and battered Peeta (Josh Hutcherson). The footage also features some scenes with recently deceased actor Philip Seymour Hoffman in his role as Plutarch Heavensbee.

The third film in The Hunger Games franchise, Mockingjay – Part 1 finds Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence), Gale (Liam Hemsworth), Haymitch (Woody Harrelson), and various other residents of the long-subjugated districts fighting a war against President Snow (Donald Sutherland) and The Capitol. And if the trailer is to be believed, Katniss’ former friend (and occasional boyfriend) Peeta may have switched sides in the battle, too.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 hits theaters November 21, and along with the aforementioned actors, the film also stars Elizabeth Banks, Julianne Moore, Jeffrey Wright, Stanley Tucci, and other new and returning cast members.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

Two men spy from a car in The Limey.

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

If you fall into that second category, then we've pulled together a list of three great, underrated, titles available on Amazon Prime Video that are all worth checking out. Prime Video is home to some of the best movies available online, but it can be hard to find the ones you want. These three will at least give you a great place to start.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
